I have lost so much of the use of my hands arms, fingers that I cannot lift a fork to my mouth without help. Yet, I am still able to swallow regular food.
I have noticed a decrease in my appetite, but was wondering. Has anyone else had this type of progression?
My lung capacity is holding around 50%. Should I go ahead and get the feeding tube or wait until I have problems swallowing?
I would have thought by now my speech and ability to swallow would be gone too.
I did start with Limb onset, in the feet and it has been slow progression, but the loss of arm strength has speed things up, or at least seems to.
Any thoughts or ideas.
